Chapter 250 Favoritism? Have you no shame? Murder and hiding a body?
Li Feng took off his gloves, felt around the edge of the wooden board, and sure enough, he found a groove. He lifted it up with force, and dust fell down in a flurry.

A soft 'plop' sounded as a pebble fell into the water.

Li Feng was taken aback. He looked down and met a pair of empty eyes.

Li Feng: ...

"I rely on!"

Li Feng couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

Nan Shu's expression faded as she gazed at the scene before her: it was a vertical well, large enough for two people to hug, very deep and long, with a ring of lime powder sprinkled around the edge as if to absorb odors. The corpse stood quietly in the well, its head tilted back, as if it had been deliberately placed in this position.

The clothes on her body had faded in color due to the microorganisms in the well, but it was still faintly discernible that this was the same outfit Wu Meigui was wearing when she left three years ago, as seen in the surveillance footage.

Most of the body had decomposed, leaving only a skeleton. Given the environment inside the well, it was likely that even the skeleton would completely decompose in another two or three years.

When.

It's true that even the last piece of evidence has been found.

Li Feng, his face grim, took out his phone and contacted Nan Punian.

soon.

When the main force arrived, this time they deployed three police cars and a forensic examination vehicle, and immediately cordoned off Kong Lan's house with police tape. Seeing this, the villagers only watched from a distance, and dared not stand on the wall to watch the commotion like they did last time.

Xu Yunli carried the investigation kit into the room, glanced at Li Feng who was leaning against the wall and gagging, but couldn't vomit because he hadn't eaten much for breakfast, and then looked at Nan Shu who was leaning against the wall, calmly touching the iron rod.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yunli took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to Nan Shu. Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, then took it. Xu Yunli smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Feng: ?
No, we're all colleagues, Dr. Xu, why are you showing favoritism?

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

A concerned voice rang out.

Hearing this question, Li Feng was moved to tears. He looked up and saw that his teammate, Captain Nan, had bypassed him and stood in front of Nan Shu.

Li Feng: ...

"Double standards! This is blatant double standards!"

Li Feng was indignant and couldn't help but speak his mind.

Nan Punian glanced at him.

"You've been at these crime scenes for a year or two, and this is such a small matter. Xiao Shu wasn't even hurt, but you vomited like a ton of bricks and almost ruined the scene where the body was hidden. How can you be so shameless?"

Li Feng: ...

……

The identification results came out first, confirming that the deceased was indeed Wu Meigui, who had disappeared three years ago.

According to the preliminary forensic report.

Wu Meigui died of mechanical asphyxiation, with obvious damage to her throat bone, meaning she was strangled to death.

Fu Fang and Kong Lan were interrogated again.

the difference is.

Kong Lan looked at the extra handcuffs on her hands, then at Wang Yaqin opposite her. Even she, slow to react, sensed something was wrong. Her arrogance was gone, replaced by an undisguised panic and tension.

"Police officers, what do you mean by this?"

Did you think she was a criminal?

"Do you know there's an abandoned well in your chicken coop?"

Wang Yaqin didn't answer but asked a question instead. Kong Lan was taken aback.

"Well? What well?"

Wang Yaqin narrowed her eyes, staring at Kong Lan's face. "You really don't know?"

Kong Lan frowned, looking impatient. She was already short-tempered, and now, listening to Wang Yaqin speaking in riddles, although she was afraid, she couldn't help but feel irritated and said:
"Officer, just get to the point. I'm just an uneducated farmer, a rural auntie, and I don't understand those roundabout ways of speaking."

“There is a vertical well in your chicken coop, and inside the well is a corpse, which is Wu Meigui.”

Wang Yaqin stopped hiding it and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Kong Lan's expression froze for a moment, shifting from shock and confusion to disbelief. Wang Yaqin noticed all the subtle changes in her expression.

"Officer! Officer, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could this be?! Didn't Wu Meigui run off with some other man? How could she possibly die in my house?"

This rumor somehow spread throughout the village six months after Wu Meigui disappeared.

Wang Yaqin had been observing Kong Lan's changing expressions. When she heard what Kong Lan said, she smiled and had already made up her mind.

"Yes, that's really strange. How could someone who's been missing for three years just suddenly die in your house? Could it be that you and Fu Fang killed him together?"

"How could that be? Why would I kill her?!"

When it came to murder, even Kong Lan, with her fiery temper, turned pale with fright. In her mind, murderers were punished by being eaten with peanuts.

As she spoke, she gripped the table with both hands, stared at Wang Yaqin, and kept saying that she was wronged, that although Wang Yaqin had a bad temper, she would never do something like murder and hiding a body.

"What about the talisman?"

Wang Yaqin asked calmly.

Kong Lan was taken aback, her tone noticeably weaker, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Wang Yaqin, "He...he can't do it either."

Wang Yaqin curled her fingertips and tapped the table. "Kong Lan, I'm reminding you, harboring a criminal is also punishable by imprisonment. I'll ask you one last time, you'd better think it through before you answer."

"After Wu Meigui disappeared three years ago, did Fu Fang exhibit any unusual behavior? It's best not to use excuses like 'I don't remember' or 'I'm too old' to brush it off."

Kong Lan: ...

Kong Lan raised her head slightly, glanced cautiously at Wang Yaqin, met her eyes, and then quickly lowered her head again.

for a long time.

She slowly began to speak:

"Yes, yes."

Kong Lan and Fu Fang had been married for many years. From the beginning, Kong Lan was attracted to Fu Fang's appearance, so she had never complained about supporting him despite the hardships she had endured all these years.

Of course, most importantly, she was in poor health and couldn't have children, but Fu Fang didn't mind. When people in the village gossiped, Fu Fang would cover for her and tell others that it was his problem.

Kong Lan knew that many people would gossip behind her back for bringing him back to her deceased husband's house, but Kong Lan didn't care at all. At least Fu Fang was good-looking and knew how to say sweet words, which made her feel comfortable.

The two lived their life together until three years ago, around the time Wu Meigui disappeared. Fu Fang also started locking herself in the house for some reason. When she came back from farm work, the door was often locked from the inside.

Especially after Wu Meigui disappeared, Fu Fang often suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning in bed at night.

At the time, Kong Lan didn't think much of it and assumed that Fu Fang was concerned about Wu Meigui, which made her jealous for half a month.

After all, Wu Meigui was prettier than her, and she knew that herself. Moreover, during that time, Fu Fang would often find various excuses to visit Yuan Lao Er's house.

Even today, upon hearing that Wu Meigui's body had been found in her own well, Kong Lan immediately recalled this incident.

It suddenly dawned on me that Fu Fang's insomnia back then wasn't because he was worried, but because he had something important on his mind!
Although she was verbally defending Fu Fang, she knew perfectly well what was going on.

Fu Fang could very well be capable of committing murder and concealing a body.
